Absolutely horrific.

Canada’s massive border bill, C12, has been adopted after third reading at Senate.

C-12 will become the country's largest machinery of deportation: deporting refugees without hearings, retroactive bars, and mass status cancellation.

A mirror of anti-migrant ICE violence.

This is important reading for those interested in Canadian immigration policy:

- Big cuts to housing support for asylum-seekers (to be paid by municipalities, or many more people will be homeless)
- Big cuts to medical care for asylum-seekers (to be paid by asylum-seekers)
- Much more

The Canadian Library Challenges Database | Centre for Free Expression The CFE-CFLA/FCAB Canadian Library Challenges Database provides access to challenges libraries have faced to items in their collection, and to displays, programs, room usage, and computer access.

The Centre for Free Expression has done far more legwork, contacting every Alberta school division, asking how many removed books, and sending access to info requests to every division that said they did remove materials. The results they have so far are in this national challenge database #AbEd
